Criminal Defense Overview

Representing People Facing Criminal Charges

The majority of my criminal defense work is performed in the courts of Mecklenburg County, Charlotte, North Carolina (District 26).  I have many times represented clients in Cabarrus, Union, Gaston Counties and others outside of Charlotte, Mechlenburg County.  I handle a wide range of charges, including misdemeanors in district court and felony cases in superior court.

To learn more about the representation I provide, please follow the links below:

  • Theft: I handle all types of theft crimes, including embezzlement, larceny by employee, possession of stolen property, shoplifting and credit card theft.
  • Drug crimes: I represent people facing charges of drug possession, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession with intent to sell or deliver, sale/delivery and drug trafficking.
  • Assaults: Many different assault crimes are handled by my law firm. These include simple assault, assault on a female (domestic violence), assault with a deadly weapon, kidnapping and assault on an officer.
  • Sexual crimes: I defend people accused of sex offenses like solicitation, procuring and loitering for prostitution, indecent exposure, indecent liberties and secret peeping.

  • Driver’s license/DMV/failure to appear: I handle legal matters related to your driver's license, like FTA (failure to appear) notices.
  • Property crimes: I represent people accused of property crimes, including trespass, damage to personal property or real estate, arson and littering.
  • Erasing criminal records/expungment: When your criminal record is negatively affecting your life, it may be possible to have that record expunged. I can help.
  • Driving with license revoked: If you have been accused of driving with your driver's license revoked, I offer experienced legal representation.
  • High school / College students: My law firm represents high school and college students charged with a variety of crimes, including underage drinking, shoplifting, destruction of property and all types of drug offenses.
  • Any Other Crime: You may be charged with a crime I have not listed under your catagory.  There are too many to list, but I have probably handled cases like yours.

Sometimes it is difficult, but clients must trust their lawyer's recommendation. At the DeCurtins Law Firm, I earn my clients’ trust through development of a relationship. I am accessible to my clients, and I take the time to talk with them about what they can expect from the legal system.
